Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

I'm not certain he will even make it to the deadline. He's 72 years old and all those drugs must have been taking a toll on his body. Perhaps he has an iron constitution.

The weird thing is he was clean as a whistle from about 1980 up until his unusual phase began. I wonder what tipped him over the edge again.

Boredom from retirement perhaps.

Remember six consecutive ChartBuddy posts? Those were the times.

I slowly grew to hate Chartbuddy because I thought someone had actually posted something.

So has anyone here actually treated themselves to anything after passing an arbitrary milestone?

yeah, I gave the missus a nice bonus in return for a big smile and week of peace and quiet....

A healthy correction is expected to happen in the next 48hs, don't panic

Psychoactive drugs is my guess. John was always a bit weird.

As for treats, nothing much, it's end of year and I'd like to minimize the tax disasters. That said I'd probably just spend it on something stupid.

Probably back testing the $10,000 line but then from the upper side downwards

The CME announcement was after banking had closed in Asia. I would expect a Monday uptick.

Meanwhile the Coinmarket Cap price is up 2% daily and we are sitting around like a bunch of mopey teenagers.

Without getting into the politics of it, is someone able to provide a snapshot of what the tax cuts in the Republican tax bill are?  I am a foreigner so have no direct interest but wonder whether any of it might impact bitcoin. For example, are there changes to CGT treatment.

I took my wife out to dinner last night to the best steakhouse in town.  They asked if we were celebrating anything.  I put "celebrating Bitcoin hitting $10,000" on the online reservation system.  I also mentioned this to everyone that asked us.  Not one person knew what the hell I was talking about.

Sigh

Don't sweat it. The restaurant staff is organising a home invasion as I type.

This is a thing of goodness! It means we are STILL in the early forefront visionary phase. By the time it hits half a million, fully HALF the people you talk to will have heard about it, and a quarter of them might even own a thousandth of a bitcoin

My totally unproven meta dartboard method predicts between 8200 - 8500€, so just above or slightly below 10k USD. But it was for today,  so a day extra going sideways will probably lift it a bit.

Yep. Bought the missus a brand new car and paid off half the mortgage.
What is weird is that with the BTC I have left and the recent price rises I now have more fiat value than before I sold a portion of BTC.
As Jimbo would say “Go Bitcoin Go”.

Looks like we are trying to quietly sneak up on $11k again.

is that before or after taxes?

I can't spend on my 1 BTC i want it intact.  When i get money from other things then i'll splash out on some garlic bread because i'm on a power save for my trip to asia

When I made my first Bitcoin $1mCAD, I splurged and bought myself a nice little Gallen-Kreuger bass amp. Cost me about $1.2kCAD.

I bought it with dollars though. There's no way I'm parting with even a single satoshi unnecessarily.

I personally think John Macafee's dick is safe.

BTCBTCheading on up to $13,OOO/$15,OOO($20,000>) by new years :-D weeee

Only time coworkers and/or friends ask me about bitcoin is when it crashes.
(twice this week actually)
Apparently crashes are msm newsworthy for Joe-Public-bitcoin-not-a-clue ... mooning is not....
  go figure.

EDIT...
actually I take that back.
my brother just sent me a text stating and I quote...
"hey i just heard bitcoin is gonna be worth a million$ in 2020!!!"

I do hope that headlines like this are not the only way to make
people aware of bitcoin, but then again in this day and age? maybe not...
